    Playing the long game: building leverage, value, and self-worth in your career (EN)

    In this episode of Tech Her Way, I sit down with Victoria Adefioye, Senior People & Culture Talent Partner at SOTI, to explore what it truly means to play the long game in your career. We dig into how women can build real leverage at work: not just through performance, but through visibility, relationships, and self-worth. Victoria breaks down why negotiation starts long before any salary conversation, how to make your impact seen without feeling like you’re bragging, and the mindset shifts that help women advocate for themselves with confidence. She also shares the patterns she sees in women who sustain momentum in their careers, the internal narratives that quietly hold many of us back, and how to navigate those “quiet seasons” where your growth is happening under the surface. Whether you’re early in your career or stepping into leadership, this conversation offers practical, grounded insights to help you build credibility, protect your energy, and shape a career with long-term purpose and impact.

    Leading with psychological safety: women, AI, and the future of work (EN)

    In this episode of Tech Her Way, I sit down with Nogol Madani, founder of Glee Factor, to explore psychological safety, leadership, and the future of work in the age of AI. We unpack what psychological safety really means, and why it’s not about being “nice” or comfortable, but about creating environments where collaboration, creativity, and learning can thrive. Nogol shares how women’s natural strengths in empathy, communication, and relationship-building are becoming even more essential as AI changes how teams work. Whether you’re leading a team or growing in your career, this conversation will give you practical ideas for fostering trust, innovation, and inclusion in any environment.

    Motherhood myths in tech: the real talk on career and parenting (EN)

    What does it really mean to “have it all” and why does that idea so often leave women feeling guilty, stretched thin, or unseen at work? In this episode, I sit down with Dessalen Wood, Chief People Officer at Syntax, for an honest conversation about motherhood, leadership, and the myths that still shape how we see women in tech. With over 25 years of experience across retail, learning, and technology, Dessalen brings both deep empathy and candor to the realities of building a career while raising a family. We talk about the importance of owning your narrative from how you present yourself and manage expectations, to recognizing your worth and setting boundaries without apology. Dessalen also shares how organizations can better support working parents, what “ambition” really looks like after kids, and how slowing down can actually lead to more growth in the long run. Even if you’re not a parent, the truths in this conversation are universal: learning to be intentional, to let go of perfection, and to define success on your own terms.

    How to get hired: insider advice from both sides of the table (EN)

    The job market in tech is tough right now: slower, more selective, and more competitive than it’s been in years. So how do you stand out, stay resilient, and actually land the right role? In this episode, I sit down with Katie Dolgin, a leadership coach and talent strategist who’s been on both sides of the hiring table - as a consultant, recruiter, and career coach helping people navigate change with clarity and confidence. Together, we unpack what’s really going on in the Canadian tech job market today, what hiring managers are actually looking for, and how to approach your job search with strategy instead of stress. From crafting a focused story and tailoring your resume for the ATS, to nailing the interview and building relationships that open doors, Katie shares a masterclass in how to get hired without losing yourself in the process. This episode is packed with practical advice and real talk. Whether you’re just starting out, in between roles, or exploring what’s next, you’ll walk away with a sharper sense of direction. And a few reminders that every “no” is just redirection toward the right fit.

    From burnout to balance: mental health, personal growth and boundaries (EN)

    Burnout is one of those words we hear all the time in tech, but what does it actually look and feel like and how do you come back from it? In this episode, I sit down with Natasha Singh, who has lived through burnout and rebuilt her life and career more than once. With over 20 years of experience across Canadian fashion retail, brand marketing, and tech, Natasha shares her journey from defining herself entirely by work, with no boundaries and constant busyness as a badge of honor, to creating her own framework for recovery through her company. Together, we talk about the hidden warning signs of burnout, why “balance” is more of a myth than a destination, and the cultural forces in tech that make burnout so common. Natasha also opens up about imposter syndrome, learning to set boundaries for the first time, and the mindset shifts that allowed her to see progress as “enough.” This conversation is both raw and practical. Whether you’re in the middle of burnout, worried you’re heading there, or simply want to build a healthier career, you’ll leave with tools you can start applying today: from expressing boundaries, to holding yourself accountable, to blocking time for real rest and play.

    WTF is a Product Manager anyway? Demystifying job titles in tech (EN)

    Everyone talks about being a Product Manager, but what does the job really look like behind the LinkedIn posts and shiny job titles? In this episode, I sit down with Charlie Whicher, Senior Product Manager at Flare, a Montreal-based cybersecurity startup. Originally from the UK, Charlie’s path into product has been anything but traditional: from a PhD in genetics to roles in drug discovery, AI, and integrations. Alongside her own career, she’s also been deeply involved in the Canadian product community through Product Therapy, where Product Managers share their real struggles and lessons learned. Together, we break down the myths and realities of product management: what the role is (and isn’t), why resilience and communication matter more than being technical, and how to stay grounded in a role that can feel overwhelming. This conversation is both personal and practical: whether you’re curious about becoming a Product Manager or already navigating the day-to-day, you’ll walk away with insights you can apply right away.
